Chapter 163: Good son-in-law
"Then what does Your Majesty mean?"
Lin Hao asked tentatively, knowing in his heart that if Zhu Di really wanted to kill himself, he would definitely not be able to live now.
"In terms of business ability, no one in the world can compare with you, but do you still remember what you said in front of me when you first entered Yingtian?"
Zhu Di replaced Lin Hao with a cup of hot tea.
"The power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, it is better to be rich in the world, Weichen just wants to be the richest businessman in the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind."
Lin Hao said without thinking.
"So very good, the position of the three dukes, I have prepared for you, and when you have enough experience, you will push the boat down the river, it won't be long before you are in the Ming Dynasty, that is, one person is above ten thousand people, but you also have to pay something."
Zhu Di squinted slightly.
"Your Majesty, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Lin Hao said bluntly, the words have already come to this point, it is impossible for him not to shed his skin.
"Married to Ning'er, as well as Xi'er, and Ling'er, the daughter of Shu Xiucai, if you weren't your own person, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to sleep."
A hint of cunning flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.
"It's as simple as that?"
Lin Hao couldn't believe it, no matter how much the third daughter looks or has a life experience, there are many people in the world, I don't know how many people have squeezed their heads, and if they want to be that son-in-law, wouldn't they be in vain.
"You listen to me first, Ning'er is the princess of Daming, Xi'er and Ling'er are also county lords, you are just a grass people, if you want to marry them, you will take Huibaotong as a dowry."
"Of course, Huibaotong is still operated by you, but from now on, every silver movement will have to be handled by Shu Xiucai, and the profits will be fifty percent."
Zhu Di was full of smiles, if he only looked at his son-in-law's perspective, how could Lin Xiaozi look at it.
"Since Your Majesty has opened Chrysostom, even if Weichen does not agree, there is no way, Huibaotong Weichen is willing to give it to the court free of charge, and the profit obtained is enough, but the remaining ninety percent has to be controlled by Weichen for the construction of the Ming Dynasty."
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu Xian doesn't have to interfere, just because Wechen has self-confidence, and these silvers can only reflect the greatest value in the hands of Wechen."
Lin Hao thought for a moment and then spoke.
No matter how much silver you earn, it is just a number, Lin Hao originally took it from the people and used it for the people, and this wealth can only be in his own hands.
Otherwise, it is very likely to become a disaster for the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di is ambitious, if he gets such a fortune, it is very likely that he will fight on a large scale, and in the end it will only be the people of Dawn who will suffer.
Expansion is inevitable, but it must be done slowly, not in a hurry.
"This matter depends on you, the surplus brought by the Tobacco Division is enough to fill the treasury of the Ming Dynasty."
"In addition to that, there are two other things."
Zhu Di nodded undeniably, this is also what he admires most about Lin Hao, no matter when, he can ensure that he is clear-headed and has his own judgment on things, which is really commendable.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Lin Hao said.
"The Mobei Xiongnu have always been restless in recent years, led by Tatar and Warat, often harassing the border, the people are miserable, although the Ming is not afraid, if the real war is together, the people of the Ming Dynasty who are still recuperating will be poisoned by the war, I want to send Ning'er to Mobei and relatives, since you married Ning'er, you will be Mobei for me, for five years."
Zhu Di squinted slightly.
"Believe you a ghost, really when Lao Tzu doesn't look at history, five times to conquer Mobei, you Zhu Di is the one who will send your daughter out and kiss? It's clear that there is no way to take Tatar and Warat, so I'll put Lao Tzu here. ”
Lin Hao scolded secretly in his heart, and then spoke: "Within five years, those who do not surrender to the Mobei Xiongnu will all be wiped out!" ”
Cleaning up these Huns, for Lin Hao, is not a hand-holding.
"Okay, I like your courage, as for the second thing, I think you also know, that is Zhu Yunwen."
Zhu Di laughed heartily and then said.
"Not bad."
Lin Hao didn't deny it, he knew that Zhu Di was so shrewd, how could he not know that Zhu Yunwen secretly stationed troops to cause trouble.
"Zhu Yunwen is not afraid, what I am worried about is his hundreds of thousands of secret soldiers, anyway, I am helpless, this matter will also be handed over to you to solve, within three years, I will destroy Zhu Yunwen's soldiers and horses, and I will ensure that you ascend to the position of the third duke."
Zhu Di sighed, when Ying Tianfu broke the city, Zhu Yunwen seemed to have evaporated from the world, and he was always uneasy in his heart, until half a year ago, he got some rumors.
The Huns are not the most difficult problem, the so-called outside must first settle inside, three years is already Zhu Di's last bottom line, if Zhu Yunwen is allowed to develop, sooner or later one day the boat will capsize in the gutter.
"Your Majesty, can you know that there is an inextricable connection between the East Palace and Zhu Yunwen?"
Lin Hao didn't immediately agree, but asked tentatively.
"Chi'er is still young, but he is bewitched by others, as long as he doesn't make a bad move, I don't plan to pursue it, and now the only one who can get on the line with that Zhu Yunwen is Chi'er."
A hint of shrewdness flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, and his original intention was to use Zhu Gaochi to fish out Zhu Yunwen.
"Your Majesty's request, Weichen has fully agreed, and I also ask Your Majesty to help."
Lin Hao arched his hand towards Zhu Di, he didn't worry about anything else, he only cared about the safety of the people beside him.
"Take this secret edict and go to Jin Chun, the secretary of the Criminal Department."
Zhu Di pushed the secret edict that had been prepared long ago in front of Lin Hao.
"Wechen will come and see you another day!"
Lin Hao picked up the secret edict, bowed to Zhu Di, and then walked out of the imperial study.
"Brother Lin, what did my father say?"
Zhu Gaoxu was anxious.
"Go to the Punishment Department."
Lin Hao boarded the carriage and commanded Wang Ben.
……
The Imperial Study.
"Shu Xiucai, tell me, what is the concept of these 130,000 taels of silver and 40,000 taels of gold?"
After Lin Hao left, Zhu Di curiously came to Zhu Chun's side.
Although he was a genius, he had ever seen the largest amount, that is, the annual tax count of the household department.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, the annual tax is only tens of millions of taels, which is hundreds of thousands of taels at every turn, and there is no such concept at all.
"This king doesn't know, Huibao has always been meticulous, and this king has only bought the housekeeper of Huibaotong's shopkeeper's house in one county over the years, and he got this number by deduction."
"Those so-called accounts are also fake, the original intention was just to test it, but I didn't expect Lin Xiaozi to deny it, which means that Lin Xiaozi's current family property is only higher than this number!"
"Now the exchange rate of gold and silver in Daming is one to four, that is, nearly 300,000 taels, and the total population of Daming is 40,000, which is roughly that if this silver is divided equally among everyone in Daming, everyone can get ten taels of silver!"
Zhu Chun's heart was also extremely shocked, his fiefdom Chengdu, that is, Shufu, was rich in the world.
Zhu Di let himself go to Shu to become a vassal, and another profound meaning was to accumulate wealth for the imperial court.
Since the twenty-third year of Hongwu, he has only accumulated tens of millions of taels of silver.
This silver is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's life, if it is not for the war, it must not be used, even if there are disasters everywhere and the court has no rice to boil, Zhu Di has never thought of using this silver.
And Lin Hao just started from a small paradise, in just five years, half of the world's wealth, how terrifying!?
The corners of Zhu Di's mouth also twitched, ten taels per person, what is the concept, the expenses of ordinary people and their families all year round are only two taels of silver.
Divide Lin Hao's wealth equally, and the entire Ming Dynasty will be able to lie flat for five years without having to do anything!
300,000 taels, 30 million taels a year in the Ming treasury, a hundred years of income from the treasury!
"Shu Xiucai, how do I feel, we can lie down?"
Zhu Di swallowed.
"What the imperial brother said is extremely true, in the past ten years, the younger brother has done his best, and it is not a fraction of the others, and there is a son-in-law who can earn such silver, and he still rolls up a Ji'er?"
King Shu Xian lit a branch and the world, took a deep breath, and said thoughtfully.
……
Penal Department.
"Jin Shangshu, this is His Majesty's secret edict."
Zhu Gaoxu handed the secret edict to Jin Chun.
Jin Chun opened the secret edict, squinted slightly, and then said: "I belong to the Criminal Department, and I will go to Beizhen Fusi with this official to meet the important people!" ”
All the servants of the Criminal Department quickly gathered and rushed towards the Fusi of Beizhen.
Jin Chun is not a fool, he can see at a glance that these cases are all fueled by the East Palace, but the previous evidence is conclusive, and he has no right to intervene.
In Yingtianfu, Dali Temple, the Supervision Department, and the Criminal Department are called the Three Law Divisions, of which the Criminal Department has the greatest authority.
Now that he has received His Majesty's secret edict, he is not in the eyes of Jin Chun at all.
Fusi Prison in North Town.
Xu Dashan was tied to the torture instrument and covered in blood.
Guo Baokun's eyes flashed with a ruthless look: "Your father is a member of the Criminal Department, and it must be clear that no one who has entered the Fusi Prison in Beizhen has never been able to get out alive." ”
"The matter of hiding the remnants of the White Lotus Sect has been conclusively proven, and even the confession has been written for you, you only need to sign and draw the charge, and you can suffer less guilt, and the East Palace has instructed, as long as you are willing to testify against Lin Hao, after the matter is completed, you are still the owner of heaven and earth, what Lin Hao can give you, the East Palace will not be stingy!"
"You're dreaming!"
Xu Dashan spat at Guo Baokun.
On top of the confession, all the incriminating evidence is pointed at Lord Lin, and if he signs and draws the charge, he will harm Lord Lin.
"It seems that you still haven't served well, what kind of ecstasy soup did Lin Hao pour you!?"
Guo Baokun grabbed a handful of coarse salt from the cloth bag and pressed it fiercely on top of Xu Dashan's wound.
The door to the torture chamber was kicked open by Kim Chun.
"Jin Shangshu, what do you mean by this, I don't know if this is the prison of Beizhen Fusi?"
Guo Baokun looked at Jin Chun with cold eyes and asked.
"This official is in accordance with His Majesty's order, the case committed by Xu Dashan, Xu Yanran, Ren Tianhua and Lianyue will be taken over by the Criminal Department, if Lord Guo has any doubts, he can ask the East Palace to ask His Majesty."
Jin Chun snorted coldly, and the Pu knife in his hand slashed towards the chains that bound Xu Dashan.
Yao Ji, who rushed over, struck the Pu knife in Jin Chun's hand, and said in a cold tone: "I want to see, who can take them away from my prison in Beizhen Fusi today!?" ”
